What Terminal 1 is for
Back in service, but only just. It has been rebuilt as part of the airport's expansion and is reopening in stages: today it handles a handful of regional flights a day and nothing else. Almost nobody arriving on a scheduled international flight will use it.
Terminal 1 is open again, with very little traffic. Today it handles 12 of 3,839 flights. If your booking says Terminal 1, check your boarding pass on the day: most scheduled international flights use another terminal.
Airlines using Terminal 1

Arriving into Terminal 1
The order is the same in every terminal, and knowing it stops the wait feeling open-ended.
Landing to the doors: 35–100 minutes in total.
Landing to walking out: 35–50 minutes on a quiet day, 70–100 in peak season. That gap is why meeting someone at the landing time means an hour in the hall.
Getting out from here
All four ways out serve every operating terminal: the official taxi counter is inside the arrivals area, the ADO bus stops right outside, car rental desks are on site, and pre-booked transfers meet you past the exit doors.
